Default Disturbing Amazon ad above.

'Big savings on Cyber-Monday' it says.

Isn't Cyber-Monday when you have pieces of metal welded onto your body for half-price!? Somebody on twitter found out it was, so whatever you do, DON'T go on Amazon on Cyber-Monday!

You've never heard of Cyber Monday, Cybermat?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_Monday

So, do go to Amazon on Monday, and be sure to go through one of the links on SubSim. Neal gets a cut.

Or Black Friday - it doesn't mean you have to stick boot polish all over for the day!

If you want a really disturbing Google Ad I'd recommend you search for the correct use of a colon or a semi colon.

Ah, but that's what the Cybermen want you to think. It is nice for them to help Neal, but I don't really want to be turned into a cloth-faced robot with a high-pitched voice!

I got that one time and almost sent Neal a "WHY" pm.

Some ads are just odd.

Not if you are a Muslim man alone in a strange new land.

That add might have just the ticket for someone.

With how much Star Trek gets mentioned on this site I am shocked that I yet to see a Star Trek related ad.

One threads topic was Castro and I had a Travel to Cuba ad up there even took a screenie of it.

Maybe the ad generator saw how much Muslim is mentioned and it picked the dating service add.
